I am a patient of Jacksonville Mayo. When I was first having severe signs of PTSD after ICD episodes my PCP referred me to psychiatric dept. There I went through a lot of tests and consultations. I was then referred to their medication specialist counselar. She is a ACP not a psychiatrist. She focusses on medications specific to patient and works with all my other medical providers at Mayo.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in psychology. In Mayo Jacksonville they have serveral ACP (Advanced Care Practioneer) specilizing in special areas. I am not familiar with your medical providers but if large enough may have similiar programs.

Did I initially see a psychiatrist, yes. Then went through a lot of testing and diagnosis. I can tell you my psychiatric medication specialist is outstanding. She does do psychological counseling when she sees you but her expertise is in medications.

A psychiatrist can do same.
